BXBX NOVEL Chapter 342 ENTERING THE GARDEN
"Are we just going to land?" he asked Shen Ji Yun when he noticed that the other was slowly descending towards the island.
Although he wanted to ask him why didn’t he tell him that he already had a way for them to go to the Tower, this was hardly the time for that. It’s much more important for them to successfully enter this island and then subsequently enter the Tower.
"Yes," Shen Ji Yun answered. "Please, hold on tight."
The moment Shen Ji Yun said that, Luo Yan automatically hugged Eclipse into his arms and clutched on the mane of the other’s beast form. Not even after a second, Shen Ji Yun descended. Stronger wind blew on Luo Yan’s face, making his long white hair more tousled and wind-blown.
They entered the island without a hitch. He thought that they would land on a clearing or something. But no, Shen Ji Yun’s trajectory would directly lead them in front of the Tower. He wanted to ask if that was really such a good idea. But since they were already on their way, there’s already no point in stopping him.
When they were a few meters away from the Tower, without warning, Shen Ji Yun’s beast form was suddenly surrounded by that purple smoke. It was the same smoke that appeared when he transformed earlier. So, he knew that the other was about to transform back to his humanoid form. He almost shouted, ’a little warning Brother Ji Yun?’.
He thought that the smoke would be like other smokes, making him cough and teary-eyed. But no, it just felt like he was in the middle of a purple mist. It even felt surprisingly warm and gentle. Just like Shen Ji Yun himself.
He shook his head. He should be thinking of landing properly instead of that. It would be really embarrassing if he fell on his butt. But before he could even move, a strong arm went around his shoulders and also held the back of his knees, carrying him horizontally.
Once the smoke finally dissipated and he looked up and saw Shen Ji Yun’s handsome face, he now realized what just happened. When the other transformed back to his humanoid form, Shen Ji Yun quickly carried him. And not just an ordinary carry, but a princess-carry! This was already the second time that this guy had done this.
Even though he still looked as expressionless as ever, Luo Yan had a feeling that the other did this on purpose. After all, he could have just landed properly first and then wait for him to get off his back before transforming to his humanoid form. But no, he really had to transform before they could even land.
He narrowed his eyes at him. It seemed that this guy was starting to learn how to be touchy-feely in a discreet manner. In the end, he just sighed and didn’t say anything. After all, he had also been touchy-feely with him quite a number of times. It even felt like he was molesting him sometimes. So, this much was fine.
[Mashter, you’re like Captain’s bride!] – Eclipse, who was being hugged by Luo Yan, suddenly said.
He gazed down at the little fox in his arms and smiled his scary smile. [You know, Eclipse, it would have been better if you didn’t speak just now.]
Why was he the bride? Why couldn’t Shen Ji Yun be the bride? That’s simply discrimination, you know?
Eclipse made a zipping movement on his mouth, as if telling him that he wouldn’t say anything more. Then he buried his fluffy head back to his master’s arms.
Shen Ji Yun finally landed. The image of him coming down from that height could almost be compared to an immortal who descending from heaven. Like someone who didn’t have any worldly desires. Well, except probably for the beautiful elf in his arms.
He carefully put down Luo Yan. There were still traces of his warmth left in Shen Ji Yun’s arms. He could even still feel his softness. If he didn’t let go of him quickly, he would probably be addicted by the feeling of his body against his.
"Sorry, I accidentally transformed much earlier than I should," he said, looking down and sideways.
Luo Yan stared at Shen Ji Yun’s face. Even though there wasn’t any change in his expression, Luo Yan automatically felt that he was lying. Probably because he couldn’t manage to look at him. And he also looked like a guilty kid right now. A kid who was told not to eat another piece of cake but still did. And then refused to admit what he did even though the icing on his face was very evident.
"It’s okay," he said, not revealing the other’s lie. [I’ll forgive you since you’re being all adorable right now.]
[Mashter, you just thought Captain was--]
He stared down at Eclipse before he could say more and gave him one of his scary smiles once again. As expected, the other quickly shut up.
Shen Ji Yun let out a sigh of relief. "Then, shall we go inside?"
"Are you really sure they will let us in?" Luo Yan asked to confirm.
"Yes, just leave it to me," Shen Ji Yun assured him. "This time, I’ll try not to be too useless."
Hearing him say that, Luo Yan remembered how he teased him earlier about not being helpful when it came to interviewing NPCs. He smiled and said, "Okay, I’ll leave it to Brother Ji Yun."
